Ok, UIDocument now has a sendRedirect flag. If this is set (either in the template or by the parent component reaching down) we will bypass the the generation and just keep the value locally. We needed some way to transfer the data. I noticed UIAttachment us using get/setValue. Assuming that it implemented ValueHolder, I thought I might reach up and set the values directly if I could. Unfortunately, I just realized you don't actually implement ValueHolder. I'm not sure this is proper use of ValueHolder anyway, so if you have a better idea, I'm all ears. Also, note that you'll need to do your processing in encodeEnd() and not in encodeBegin(). The PDF won't available until UIDocument completes it's encodeEnd.
